FAQ: Norton Password Manager

As a company, we're committed to protecting against viruses, malware, online tracking, attacks on home Wi-Fi networks, identity theft and more. As part of that commitment, we're changing some of our product and feature names to more clearly reflect their functionality and the role they play in providing you with the most comprehensive protection against today's cyber threats.

Starting in September, 2018, we are changing the name of our Norton Identity Safe product to Norton Password Manager. You will still have all the same features and benefits you've come to rely on, backed by our Member Services and Support Team.

The Mobile Unlock feature lets you unlock your Password Manager vault using a desktop browser by approving a notification on your mobile device instead of manually entering your vault password. Each time you launch your desktop browser with the Norton Password Manager extension installed, a vault unlock request notification is automatically sent to your registered mobile device. Once you approve the unlock request on the mobile device, your vault automatically unlocks in the browser. To know more, see Unlock your Norton Password Manager vault with Mobile Unlock.
